What does it mean to be “nuclear tipped”?

As in uses depleted uranium (because of density characteristics) or radioactive waste stuff just for being radioactive?

(Obviously mass of tomahawk is too low for any chain nuclear reaction)

As in, contains a nuclear warhead. The Tomahawks are nuclear-capable.

Would you want nuclear-capable missiles deployed on your borders, within 7 minutes flight time of your capitol city?
